A man was arrested after allegedly filling a water cup with soda at a fast-food restaurant

A Montana man was arrested after allegedly filling a water cup with soda at a fast food restaurant, as CBS-affiliate KCTV reported.

When an employee told Daniel Robert Stine that he needed to pay for the drink, the 48-year-old man walked out of the establishment.

Hours later, police officers found Stine in the bathroom of another restaurant, where he resisted arrest.

Stine was arrested on charges of robbery, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass to property, and obstructing a peace officer, according to the Missoula County jail roster.

A Montana man was arrested on Thursday after allegedly filling a water cup with soda at a fast food restaurant, as CBS-affiliate KCTV reported.

According to the outlet, Daniel Robert Stine ordered a cup of water at the restaurant — which he allegedly proceeded to fill with soda.

Then, the 48-year-old man got into a fight with a restaurant employee who attempted to confront him, according to the outlet, after the employee told Stine he needed to pay for the beverage. Stine left the restaurant.

An employee then followed Stine into the parking lot, warning him not to come back to the restaurant. When confronted, Stine allegedly attempted to kick the employee, KCTV reported.

Hours later, police officers found Stine in the bathroom of a different restaurant, per KCTV. Police said that Stine resisted arrest and "had to be tased."

"Rather than comply with their instructions, he approached them in what appeared to be an aggressive manner," Missoula Public Information Officer Travis Welsh told KGVO. "The officers attempted to take control of him physically and that's when he began to resist and fight with the officers and had to be tased to comply to the officer's instructions."

Stine was booked on charges of robbery, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass to property, and obstructing a peace officer, according to the Missoula County jail records. He was held on $50,000 bail but has since been released.

A representative for the Missoula County Police Department didn't immediately return INSIDER's request for comment.
